The Marion Art Center will be offering families Halloween fun with a covid-safe twist for 2020.

The beloved annual Halloween parade will not take place this year - such large scale gatherings are still prohibited by the state due to safety concerns. However, the MAC will feature a virtual Halloween parade on a dedicated page  at (marionartcenter.org). 

The MAC is calling on all kids, families and adults to send in photos of themselves in costume to info@marionartcenter.org. 

Those who submit entries will be invited to drive by the MAC to pick up their Halloween goody bags on Oct. 31. These candy and art supply treat bags will be prepared and presented

by one of the MAC’s famous “witches,” of course. 

Details will be emailed a few days before Halloween.

The Marion Art Center will be decorated for the holiday season, even glowing at night for all to see. 

Families can visit the MAC and enjoy spooky sightings all around the building.

Additionally, the MAC’s outdoor community message board will get a fresh coat of black paint, and anyone is invited to add a Halloween-themed message, drawing, or decoration with paints, markers, collage, or cutouts. 

The Marion Art Center also invites community members to share original material such as pumpkin-carving tutorials, ghost-storytelling videos, and festive recipes. 

Send any and all entries to info@marionartcenter.org.
